The Packaging Research Center at Georgia Tech (EEC-9402723) has taken a leadership position in developing new approaches to education in electronic packaging. With the assistance of an NSF/ERC equipment award matched by The Georgia Research Alliance, the ERC has developed a design/build facility where students have an educational experience in designing, building and operating new packaging technology with industrial mentors. This is accomplished in two instructional laboratories supplemented by classroom experience. They have developed an interdisciplinary packaging MS certificate and a developing a new Practice Oriented Master’s Program. The program has support from the NSF, the IEEE, and the International Microelectronics Packaging Society to develop curricular materials/modules for electronic packaging education to be made available to a broad range of investigators outside of the PRC.
